Baked Corn Casserole
Baked Corn Casserole uses fresh or frozen corn mixed with milk, melted butter, salt, pepper, and beaten egg, then baked until set and golden. The custard-like interior and lightly browned edges create a creamy, comforting side dish showcasing corn's natural sweetness and richness.
Ingredients
- 5 cups corn about 10 ears, shucked, cleaned and cut from the cob (or 40 ounces frozen creamed corn)
- 1 cup milk whole
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter or grease an 8x8 baking dish.
- Shuck and remove the silks from the corn. Over a large bowl or pan, use a sharp knife to cut down the length of the cob removing the top half of the corn kernels. Then go back over the cob with the flat side of a knife and scrape all the milky liquid into the bowl with the kernels.
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients, mixing well.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the edges start to turn golden brown.
Notes
- When using frozen corn, partially thaw about 30 minutes before mixing for best texture.
- The casserole may be prepared a day in advance and reheated gently at 200°F before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to three days.
